analyzing complex texts Assignments | Get Paper Help

ASSIGNMENT: Write a multi-paragraph essay in which you analyze “The Lampshade Vendor” according to the process you have studied this semester (AXES). Remember -analysis is breaking apart. Consider metaphors, symbols, wording, setting, tone, and place. Do not write a summary of the story. To begin, formulate some thoughts about the story and create several possible assertions.
Since you will need to use the story for examples, remember to include in-text citations. As part of the introductory paragraph, begin with an interesting attention grabber. The last sentence of the introductory paragraph needs to be a thesis.

PURPOSE: To deepen and extend analyzing complex texts. Like the author, Randall Fallows, I do not want you “to convince me that [your] points of view are correct but rather to reveal that [you] have thought about [your] subject thoroughly and arrived at reasonable and significant considerations” (8).

LENGTH: 2 pages all lines double spaced, not including the Works Cited page and heading

FORMAT: MLA with a Work Cited for the story and any other sources you may use although you are not required to use other sources.

AUDIENCE: Assume your reader has read the story.
